Today's iPad drawing was caused by a glitch in the Layers app. A happy accident that I used as an Oblique Strategy.

I was inspired by a photo on the front page of the NYTimes yesterday. It show a house in Pennsylvania coal country hard up against a snowy wooded hill in deep twilight with just two bright warm yellow windows shining through the gloom.

About Me

The ArrghPtoo! Project starts with me making a drawing every day that simply and directly addresses what's going on around me and inside my head at that particular moment in time. I decided to use my iPhone and the Brushes app because 1) I've always got my iPhone on me, even when I'm in my pajamas, and b) I like the primitive technology and small format of the Brushes app - it keeps me honest somehow.

I'm an artist, graphic designer, musical entertainer, husband, and father. Originally from California, I've been living in New York for 25 years and counting. I've graduated from art school, got a masters degree in telecommunications, worked for corporate giants and feisty start-ups, displayed and sold my art, and played for years in the world's greatest post-modern jug band, Washboard Jungle.

I love my life and I love to draw. And I love my iPhone. Those three things get married online in ArrghPtoo! Please to enjoy.
